The NEW Class View in @bookcreator.com is a game changer!
Class View lets librarians & teachers see all of their students' books & pages in a single, scrollable dashboard. It's so helpful to see them all at once. 💻
It's such a wonderful way to give faster feedback, too! ❤️

Get in the habit of bringing up accessibility at meetings, in stand-ups, and in demos. Bring up things you've done to address accessibility. Likewise, don't be afraid to ask, "Have we tested this on a keyboard?" or "What's the experience like on a screen reader?"
